AG Dynamics seminar: Stability and bifurcations of heteroclinic cycles of type Z

Hosted by University of Exeter.

Dynamical systems which are invariant under the action of a non-trivial symmetry group can possess structurally stable heteroclinic cycles. In this talk I discuss stability properties of a class of structurally stable heteroclinic cycles called heteroclinic cycles of type Z. It is well-known that a heteroclinic cycle that is not asymptotically stable can attract nevertheless a positive measure set from its small neighbourhood. I call such cycles fragmentarily asymptotically stable. Necessary and sufficient conditions for fragmentary asymptotic stability are expressed in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of transition matrices. If all transverse eigenvalues of linearisations near steady states involved in the cycle are negative, then fragmentary asymptotic stability implies asymptotic stability. In the latter case the condition for asymptotic stability is that the transition matrices have an eigenvalue larger than one in absolute value. Finally, I discuss bifurcations occurring when the conditions for asymptotic stability or for fragmentary asymptotic stability are broken.
